Beef Tenderloin Rolls with Cheese – finely rolled strips of beef tenderloin with cheese sauteéd in authentic teriyaki sauce.

Having a teybolforwan? Don’t worry as they also offer set meals! Their set meals already include soup, rice, and iced tea.
For dessert, we were supposed to try their Blueberry Custard Napoleones but it wasn’t available at that time so, we ordered s’mores instead.
S’mores – roasted marshmallows laid on chocolate ganache served with graham crackers. This is definitely one of the best s’mores I have tried with its smooth chocolatey taste that’s not overwhelmingly sweet. The owner shared with us that they use Ghirardelli on this one! No wonder why it has that smooth and delicious chocolate ganache.
I can definitely finish this alone.
They also have Reese’s S’mores!

At an affordable price, the foods are all good and I would highly recommend this place to anyone whether you are dining solo, with a group, just eating out or celebrating any special occasion.
We highly recommend trying the Bistro Sisig Fries, Ox Sisig, Beef Tenderloin Rolls with Cheese, Lengua in Mushroom White Sauce, Cantonese Prawns, and Combination Chow Mien. For dessert, you should try the s’mores!
And if you don’t have time to cook at home or too lazy to go out, you can try ordering their Party Trays!
